The existing agreement was adopted by this Council on January 12, 2021, made effective February 1, 2021, and is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The agreement does allow the option for up to two separate five (5) year extensions if mutually agreed by both parties.

Tule Trash Company submitted a formal request for a 5 year agreement extension to the City Manager on January 9, 2026. The City Manager has reviewed the request, the existing agreement, and is recommending extension of the Exclusive Franchise Agreement for an additional 5 years.

Attachment:

WHEREAS, the State of California has found and declared that the amount of refuse generated in California, coupled with diminishing disposal capacity and potential adverse environmental impacts from landfilling and the need to conserve natural resources, have created an urgent need for State and local agencies to enact and implement an aggressive integrated waste management program.

WHEREAS, CONTRACTOR shall provide all required AB 341, AB 1826 and SB 1383 collection services so that the CITY is in compliance with all the collection requirements of AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383; and,
WHEREAS, the Parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of rescinding and superseding all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties to accurately reflect the rights and obligations of the CITY and CONTRACTOR solely as set forth in this Agreement; and,

Article I. Executive Summary
Tule Trash, LLC (Tule) is prepared to provide the City of Corcoran (City) area with complete collection services for recyclables, organics, and garbage. Tule is well-prepared to perform these services effectively and efficiently and will achieve the following State diversion mandates and goals:
* AB 939 - 50% Overall Diversion,
** AB 341 - 75% Diversion by 2020,
* AB 1826 - 50% Commercial Organics Diversion by 2020,
* SB 1383 - 75% Organics Diversion from all sectors by 2025, * AB 876 - Ensure adequate organics processing capacity for 15 years, and * AB 1594 - Achieve all the above goals without counting green material used as alternative daily cover (ADC) as diversion.

This report addresses how Tule will achieve these goals, and how Tule's suite of diversion programs will exceed state diversion requirements. This report is designed as an exhibit to the Franchise Contract that will provide a strategic diversion and operations approach, that will be updated and resubmitted as necessary to achieve these goals. Implementation of the programs and targets outlined in this report will significantly enhance the jurisdictional diversion rate for the City
This new diversion will come from a variety of recovery programs including development of multi- family recycling and organics services, food rescue operations, expansion of commercial organics and dry recyclable recovery programs, and special diversion activities such as bulky item and universal wastes collections. Each of the collection programs are discussed separately in this report, where specific collection programs and outreach are outlined to best target material types. Regardless of the program type, focused and consistent outreach programs will be key to program success.
2 The City's diversion rate will be determined in conjunction with CalRecycle once the City leaves the KWRA and CalRecycle determines the target ppd. Tule will work closely with CalRecycle to ensure these calculations are accurate for the jurisdiction.

Article II. Diversion Plan Impact on City's Diversion Rate Tule's diversion programs will divert tons from the City that would otherwise be landfilled. These new tons of diversion from the City will improve the City's overall diversion rate. Tule will continue to work with the City to provide the best opportunities and levels of service as the City moves forward to comply with State regulations This Plan will be updated as necessary to incorporate these data. The programs presented in this document are designed to meet the compliance goals of the City of Corcoran.

Section 2.01 Statewide Regulatory Drivers
There are several statewide drivers that Tule fully understands and will ensure that the City is prepared for each one. This section provides an overview of each law and regulation, including a timeline compliance with Tule as their hauler and processor.

AB 1826 will phase-in commercial organic waste collection from now to 2020 following AB 341 for mandatory commercial collection. SB 1383 requires generators with local government and the local haulers within a shared responsibility framework to reduce 50% of all organics by 2020 and 75% reduction of all organics by 2025 to mitigate methane and recover 25% of edible food by 2025. Tule has included programs to achieve compliance as part of this Plan and including a suite of programs to comply with both AB 1826 and SB 1383 following our AB 341 programs.

Tule is also currently tracking the necessary reports that will be able to comply with AB 901 which require commodity reporting, and provide critical information to the city that will be part of their Annual Report each August 1, to submit to CalRecycle to show compliance with AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383. The next page provides Organics Legislation and Timeline summary from 2016- 2030.

Edgar 3 Associates 1 evan@edgarn org | 916-738-1200 | wwww.eogarinc.org Version 24 8/19 AB 341 "Mandatory Commercial Recycling" Assembly Bill 341 was signed into law in 2011 to increase the amount of material diverted from landfills from the commercial sector. It states that businesses that AB 341 generate four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week TEET shall arrange for recycling services. The same requirement is also applied Mandatory to multifamily dwellings of five units or more. These multifamily homes Commercial Recycling
2011 and businesses can either self-haul the materials to an appropriate facility themselves, subscribe to an existing recycling service, or arrange for other pickup of recyclable materials.

The purpose of AB 341 is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by diverting commercial solid waste to recycling efforts and to expand the opportunity for additional recycling services and recycling manufacturing facilities in California. The AB 341 regulation does not specify how much or what type of materials must be recycled by businesses but the focus has been on dry recyclables such as cardboard, paper fiber, pallets, rigid plastics, and containers, with food waste and compostable paper being the focus of AB 1826. Cardboard and paper fiber recycling offer the highest methane mitigation potential per ton recycled and can also count towards the efforts of SB 1383 compliance.

Requirements of Local Government: Each jurisdiction shall implement a commercial solid waste recycling program that consists of education, outreach, and monitoring of businesses that is appropriate for that jurisdiction and is designed to divert commercial solid waste from businesses. These jurisdictions shall report the progress achieved in implementing its commercial recycling program, including education, outreach and monitoring, and if applicable, enforcement efforts and exemptions, by providing updates in its electronic annual report.

Enforcement: CalRecycle will review each jurisdiction's commercial recycling program that consists of education, outreach and monitoring. This will include an evaluation as part of its formal AB 939 review, conducted every two or four years of each jurisdiction's programs, which includes an annual jurisdiction site visit, review of the Electronic Annual Report, and other information a jurisdiction may deem relevant. Tule will provide critical information to the City that will be part of their Annual Report each August 1, to submit to CalRecycle to show compliance with AB 341. If the jurisdiction is found to have not made a good-faith effort in implementing its programs, possibly including its mandatory commercial recycling program, CalRecycle can place the jurisdiction on a compliance order as part of the AB 939 review, and if it then fails to adequately meet the conditions of the compliance order, then CalRecycle could • consider a penalty hearing.

Decrease Global Decrease Organic Increase Organics Increase Capacity Decrease Landfil Warming ADC Use Collection Organics Processing Organics/Methane AB 1826 "Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling" | In October of 2014 Governor Brown signed AB 1826 into law requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016, depending on the AB 1826 amount of waste they generate per week. This law also requires that on and after January 1, 2016, local jurisdictions across the state implement Mandatory Commercial
Organics Recycling a commercial Organic Waste Recycling Program to divert organic waste 2014
generated by businesses. Jurisdictions must conduct outreach, education to inform businesses how to recycle organic waste in the jurisdiction, and monitoring to identify those not recycling and inform them of the law and how to recycle organic waste. Tule has included an Organic Waste Recycling Program in this report for the City to provide a strategy to comply with AB 1826. The goal of the bill is to divert 50% of organics disposal from commercial businesses by 2020 as compared to 2014.

Specific requirements for the AB 1826 Organic Waste Recycling Program must include:
• Identification of the number of regulated businesses that generate organic waste. • Education, Outreach, and Monitoring following the AB 341 regulations. • Existing organic waste recycling facilities within a reasonable vicinity and the capacities available for materials to be accepted at each facility. ~ Potential expansion or colocation of organic waste processing or recycling facilities. • Development of new private or public regional organic waste recycling facilities that may serve some or all of the organic waste recycling needs of the commercial waste generators within the jurisdiction
Reopen closed or abandoned sites available for new organic waste recycling facilities. • Other non-disposal opportunities and markets.
/ Zoning and permit requirements for the location of new organic waste recycling facilities.

Incentives available for developing new organic waste recycling facilities within the jurisdiction.

AB 1826 phases in mandatory recycling of commercial organics. Implementation is outlined as follows:

January 1, 2020 | On or after January 1, 2020, if CalRecycle determines that the statewide disposal of organic waste has not been reduced by 50% of the level of disposal in 2014, the organic recycling requirements on businesses will expand to cover businesses that generate 2 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week. Additionally, certain exemptions may no longer be available if the 2020 target is not met. / Fall 2020 | After receipt of the 2019 annual reports submitted on August 1, 2020, CalRecycle shall conduct its formal review of all jurisdictions. CalRecycle will continue to conduct the two-and four-year reviews after this cycle.

Tule will provide critical information to the City that will be part of their Annual Report each August 1, to submit to CalRecycle to show compliance with AB 1826.

AB 1594 "Green Waste ADC Phase-out of Diversion Credits" This bill was approved by the Governor on September 28, 2014, and states, commencing January 1, 2020, the use of green material as alternative AB 1594 daily cover (ADC) would not constitute diversion through recycling and TITI would be considered disposal for purposes of the act. The bill, ADC Diversion commencing August 1, 2018, would require a local jurisdiction to include Phase Out information in an annual report on how the local jurisdiction intends to 2014
address these diversion requirements and divert green material that is being used as ADC. The bill would require a jurisdiction that does not meet certain diversion requirements because of not being able to claim diversion for the use of green material as ADC to identify and address, in an annual report, barriers to recycling green material and, if sufficient capacity at facilities that recycle green material is not expected to be operational before a certain date, to include a plan to address those barriers. The bill would impose a state-mandated local program by imposing new duties upon local agencies regarding the diversion of solid waste.

Tule will not use green waste ADC and therefore the City will not be impacted by this legislation.

AB 876 "15-Year Organic Processing Capacity"| AB 876 was passed in 2015 and compliments AB 1826. Beginning August 1, 2017, counties and regional agencies are to include in their annual reports to CalRecycle, an estimate of the amount of organic waste that will be generated by the AB 876
City over a 15-year period. In addition, it calls for an estimate of the TILL
Organics Processing additional organic waste capacity that will be needed to process that Capacity amount of waste, and areas identified by the County or regional 2015
agencies as potential locations for new or expanded organic waste recycling facilities capable of safely meeting that additional need. Tule is prepared to provide the necessary arrangements for the City to ensure 15-years of organic waste processing capacity to meet the projected generation from the City.

SB 1383 "Organics Reduction for Methane Mitigation" Senate Bill 1383 identifies the reduction of methane generation of organic waste as a prioritized climate change mitigation strategy. As such, SB 1383 SB 1383 mandates reductions in the landfilling of organic waste, and thereby ITTI methane emissions. Whereas AB 341 and AB 1826 placed the burden of Methane Mitigation mandatory collection on the generators with a local government planning 2016
effort, SB 1383 explicitly shares the responsibility with local government where CalRecycle may add fines and penalties much like AB 939, but with delayed enforcement until 2024. SB 1383 requires CalRecycle, in consultation with CARB, to adopt regulations that achieve the specified targets for reducing organic waste in landfills by 2022. SB 1383 would authorize local jurisdictions to charge and collect fees to recover the local jurisdiction's costs incurred in complying with the regulations.

SB 1383 would require by July 1, 2020, for CalRecycle to analyze the progress that the waste sector, state government, and local governments have made in achieving the specified targets for reducing organic waste in landfills. SB 1383 would authorize CalRecycle, depending on the outcome of that analysis, to amend the regulations to include incentives or additional requirements.

The regulations shall also include requirements intended to meet the goal that not less than 20% of edible food that is currently disposed of is recovered for human consumption by 2025.

Tule has included an SB 1383 Organic Waste Recycling compliant Pian for the City providing programs.

Specifically, this bill adds two goals for organic waste disposal reductions:

A 50% reduction in the level of statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020.

A 75% reduction in the level of statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2025.

Tule recognizes that edible food recovery is a component of SB 1383, where we look forward to working with the City and appropriate partners who can provide this service to Corcoran. Tule may play a role in including this information into outreach programs to eligible generators and is willing to participate in discussions with food recovery agencies to ensure the City can comply with SB 1383.

In 2020, the analysis will include:

Status of new organics recycling infrastructure development, including the commitment of state funding and appropriate rate increases for solid waste and recycling services to support infrastructure expansion.

Progress made in reducing barriers to the siting of organics recycling facilities and the timing and effectiveness of policies that will facilitate the permitting of organic's recycling infrastructure.

Status of markets for the products generated by organics recycling facilities.

AB 901 "Reporting Requirements" AB 901, which was passed in 2015, requires exporters, brokers, and transporters of recyclables or AB 901 composters to submit periodic information to CalRecycle on the types, quantities, and destinations of materials that are disposed of, sold, or Diversion transferred inside or outside of the state through the Recycling and Reporting Disposal Facility Reporting System (RDRS) as of April 2019. 2015
Tule will also offer monitoring and provide reports that will be able to comply with AB 901 starting 2018 which require commodity reporting, and provide critical information to the City that will be part of their Annual Report each August 1, to submit to CalRecycle to show compliance with AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383.

SB 32 "2030 GHG Reduction Goals" | The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, known as AB 32, designates the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as the state agency charged with monitoring SB 32 and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. CARB is required to approve a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit 2030 GHG
equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions level in 1990 to Reduction Goals
2016 be achieved by 2020 and to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the maximum, technologically feasible, and cost-effective greenhouse gas emissions reductions. California is on track to meet the AB 32 goals in 2020. SB 32 would require CARB to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030. CARB will be preparing the 2030 Target Scoping Plan in 2017 that will integrate SB 1383 and the AB 32 Scoping Plan adopted in 2014 to meet the SB 32 goals and has included a local implementation section that recognizes the importance of local climate action plans. Tule is offering programs that will result in avoided greenhouse gas and have calculated that the City would reduce their greenhouse gases by over 50% in transportation emissions resulting from recycling and composting.

Section 2.02 Diversion Plan Structure
Tule has intimate knowledge of the City's current collection program and intends to build on this existing infrastructure. This will be done strategically by operational program to best implement programs that leverage the existing system, and with a personal touch, where Tule is personally invested in the success of the waste collection system. Tule will, as the franchise hauler for the City, provide a robust collection, processing and reporting infrastructure will ensure success and transparency for the City to achieve its goals.

According to the most recent Waste Characterization published by CalRecycle in 2014, organic materials remain one of the largest category of materials disposed of in landfills. These materials are targeted for removal from landfills by several legislative drivers, as discussed in previous sections. Subsequently, this report deals with programs to remove organics from landfills ambitiously, including new partnerships to increase food recovery programs in the City. "Recyclables," consisting of more traditionally recycled items, are also targeted to further the City's diversion rate. Several of these programs include concerted outreach efforts to maximize diversion of current programs and add additional recycling services to commercial businesses and multi-family dwellings. Organic materials have been targeted through collection programs that will comply with the requirements of SB1383. In addition, this report deals with other special collection streams, such as bulky item collection and household hazardous waste. The goal of this report is to provide an ambitious diversion framework based on strategic and logical programs.

Tule is committed to furthering the achievements of the community by expanding organics recycling to meet AB 341 (Mandatory Commercial Recycling), AB 1826 (Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling) to 2020, and SB 1383 (75% of commercial organic waste by 2025). This plan strategically outlines programs by program, to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Article III. Recyclables Programs
Tule's program will build upon the implementation of the Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law, which requires all medium to large scale businesses in Corcoran which generate enough waste (4 cubic yards per week of garbage) and multi-family dwellings that have more than five to subscribe to recycling services. Tule will work closely with the City to ensure maximum compliance for the businesses it services. Continued education and monitoring is required to improve participation. In addition, recycling programs for businesses and multi-family dwellings who do not currently meet the requirements of AB 341 are necessary to achieve the stated diversion mandates and goals. The City has also taken the important step of requiring recycling service to these covered entities through their City ordinance 4-2-2. A range of single stream recyclable materials are collected to include paper, cardboard, cans, glass bottles and jars, rigid plastics, and cartons.

The following containers are used to service commercial, MFD, residential and City Locations.

Section 3.04 Multi-Family Recycling Program
Tule will work closely with the City to ensure all multi-family dwellings will be provided adequate recycling services, to ensure compliance with AB 341. It is typically difficult to implement recycling collection programs for MFDs for several reasons:
- Outreach is typically sent to billing addresses which can be located offsite of the MFD complex.
- Space constraints can limit the type and number of containers at the collection location.

Motivating residents to divert high levels of materials can be difficult since they see no direct financial benefit.

However, the City has taken the significant step to require recycling containers to all MFDs that meet the thresholds as described under AB 341 through its City Ordinance 4-2-2.

Multi-Family Dwelling Outreach Programs
Effective outreach is critical to providing a successful recycling program for MFD customers. Tule is committed to providing the following outreach programs to the MFD customers in Corcoran:
→ Ensure all MFDs that meet the AB 341 threshold are provided with a recycling bin; → Visit each multi-family complex, through a door-to-door campaign, to educate each resident in person and provide customers with bilingual recycling flyers, handouts and door hangers to promote and encourage recycling;
→ Notices to building management to be posted in community disposal areas outlining acceptable and non-acceptable materials in the recycling program. Materials would depend heavily on images and information would appear in multiple languages; → Work with the City to send outreach information and mailers to offsite and current management, as appropriate, to inform them of the need to recycle and promote good recycle habits among the tenants.
→ Tule will work to develop a 'move-in kit' that managers can provide new tenants that contain a recycling bag and information on 'how to' recycle. → Tule will develop appropriate outreach to notify tenants of safe HHW disposal with the KWRA and bulky item disposal options.
→ Supply each resident a bilingual handbag to use for their dry recyclables to help them transport recyclables from their apartment/dwelling to the recycle container. The recycle bag will help promote and facilitate recycling and education. The recycle bag will have the Tule Trash name and also all the acceptable material on the side of the bag (See Attachment A). Additionally, each bag is delivered with a letter on 'how to' recycle for each resident.
→ Ensure recyclables maintain contamination within industry standards to ensure recyclable quality
→ Conduct audits of MFD containers and routes to ensure compliance. Any contamination issues would be followed up with phone calls and/or email correspondence to the building owners. If consistently low participation has been noted, program information and outreach will be provided to the complex; → Customize collection stops with bins and/or carts to right-size service and space. → Maintain a friendly office location where customers can call, or walk in, for any assistance at any time during our office hours 7 AM - 4 PM, Monday-Friday; → Cart-tag containers that have contamination issues.

Article IV. Organics Diversion Programs
Tule is committed to meeting the requirements of AB 1826 where organic recycling services will be provided to customers that meet each threshold. Tule has rolled out an organic collection program to the City that complies with the requirements of AB 1826 with the support of the City's Ordinance 4-2-2, where our education and outreach team continues to work with customers.

Tule will work closely with the City to ensure maximum compliance for the customers it services that is flexible and right sized using more carts phased in and less bins. An extensive outreach campaign and continued education and monitoring is required to improve participation. An effective organics recycling is necessary to achieve compliance with AB 1826 and the stated diversion goals
In addition, Tule is prepared to meet the SB1383 regulations that will be finalized in 2019/2020.

As a significant step towards preparing the City for this regulation Tule has been working closely with the City to inspect bins, cart tag those with contamination, and provide organic bins to all customers. Tule is committed to program success and plans to collect for some businesses ahead of the State Mandates. Tule will work with the City to determine the best way of rolling out food scrap collection and securing a contract with a facility that can accepts food scrap organics. The outreach teams will be poised to address common concerns of food collection, which include:

There is often an initial level of discomfort associated with the collection of food scraps.

This can slow the adoption until habits and programs are more well established. - There can be space constraints for high density customers. - There is also confusion around what is acceptable and unacceptable in food scraps collection programs since it is less established than traditional recycling and accepted materials vary greatly by municipality.

The following containers are used to service commercial, MFD, residential and City Locations.

Section 4.05 Special Collections Recycling Program
Tule Trash Co. is committed to seeking diversion opportunities for the City of Corcoran through an array of programs, that are above and beyond curbside collection. These additional programs and addressing a variety of issues including, illegal dumping, removing HHW and universal waste from the collection stream, school recycling and edible food collection. This section summarizes Tule's ability to provide, or support, these services for the City.

Bulky waste is often an eye sore that clogs streets and alleys within the city as well as causing private property owners to have to pay for the unwanted waste that lands on their property.

Section 4.06 Bulky Item Collection
Customers within the City of Corcoran should have accessible options to dispose of bulky items in order to prevent illegal dumping. Tule is willing to work with the City to expand bulky item collection programs by building an in-City transfer station, should the City deem it appropriate.

In the interim Tule is pleased to offer the following programs to collect bulky item materials:
1) Twice a year, week-long, bulky item and universal waste drop off events at KWRA; 2) Bulky item call-in service for city residents to call Tule to schedule a curbside pick-up of their items year-round for elderly and disabled citizens 3) A bin to be placed at the city corporate yard for year-round disposal of bulk item waste.

Tule is aware that it is not always convenient for city patrons to store these bulky items for months at a time. Tule is also aware that moving and loading such items can be a strain on elderly and disabled patrons. As a courtesy, disabled and elderly City residents can call the City office and set up an appointment during the week-long clean-up events, for one of our trucks to pick up the bulky item left on the curbside or other designated spot.

activities.

Section 4.07 Edible Food Recovery Program
SB 1383 mandates by 2025, 20% of all edible food currently The U.S. Department of being disposed must be recovered for human Agriculture (USDA) defines food consumption. Current regulations (in final draft form) will insecurity as limited or uncertain require edible food recovery programs in each jurisdiction availability of nutritionally in California in order to achieve this Statewide goal. This adequate foods or uncertain will require the City to understand what the existing food ability to acquire these foods in recovery capacity is, and how it can be improved. The socially acceptable ways. ultimate goal is for food generators to have the Feeding America estimates that opportunity to divert organics from landfill, reduce their 13.2% of people living in Kings garbage rates by diverting edible organics to feed people, County experience food and more importantly provide a great social benefit to the insecurity.

Early action on framing a food recovery program will
facilitate the City's progress towards those goals.

Implementing these programs provide a meaningful impact to the community where social issues of food insecurity can be addressed.

Currently, there is one agency working in the City that is providing food services to food insecure individuals. In order for food recovery programs to be developed the City must be lead on efforts to develop a more comprehensive approach in addressing these gaps. Tule is ready and willing to participate in discussions, conduct outreach campaigns and work alongside with an edible food recovery group in the implementation of a program.

Specifically, Tule can augment outreach and education to food generators that could supply food recovery agencies with edible food, provide general information on programs, contact information of food recovery organizations and discuss appropriate platforms for reporting and information sharing with the City and food recovery agencies. The goal is to encourage collaboration between all parties and ensure generators will be provided with a comprehensive approach to organics management where edible food waste will be captured, and the remaining organics materials will be placed in the curbside organic containers.

Article V. Monitoring and Reporting to the City of Corcoran Tule is poised to fulfill its reporting requirements to the City to meet and/or exceed the reporting requirements of AB 341, AB 939, AB 1594, and AB 1826. This will be done CORE reporting software that can capture specific data per customer and design special reports. The system allows for "comments" to be added on a per customer basis, which becomes useful in the collecting data for each new customer. For example, notes can be reviewed for a non-compliant customer to determine how many times they have been contacted, the form of each contact (email, phone call, or personal visit) and what additional measures have been taken to aid in diversion programs mandated by the State. This will also aid in any customer complaint and how they were handled.

All office and outreach staff have access to the system, so there is complete transparency and data access if customers call or walk-in to the office. As a significant step, photos can be taken by drivers and added to the customer notes. This has been integral in dealing with contamination, cart tags and fines. Drivers will photograph containers containing contamination so outreach personnel are prepared to answer questions that arise from customers. Notes can be written directly into the account while on the phone with the customer. A report can be run at any time with information, and are also available in excel, creating an easily transferable data set to the City. Customized reports may be run, where the program can detail customer's information by trash, organic, and/or recycle bins.

Notable CORE can:
/ Run individual data/reports per customer;
• Run customized reports per City's request;
/ Track all non-compliant customers for targeted outreach measures; • Provide instant recording into customer accounts;
• Take photographs and insert them into customer accounts; • Track customer's trash, organic and recyclables services; and, / All reports can be exported into excel for ease of electronic submission and data analysis.

Tule can track how many the number of customers that fall within the mandated recycling/composting requirements are complying with those services and note those that are currently not meeting the requirements to satisfy the requirements of AB 341 and AB 1826. These reports will be provided to the City at regular intervals (to be determined by the City) and in preparation for the Annual Reporting requirements.

In addition to the customer service and outreach tracking capabilities Tule will ensure that tonnages managed by the future Transfer Station, will be clearly and transparently tracked and reported to the City. These tonnages will be tracked via weight tickets, where trucks cross over scales before entering the facility. These weight tickets are entered into the system by type (recyclable route, organics route, etc.) where they can be used against outbound tonnage reports by facility. Tule will work closely with each facility to ensure transparency and that ton per ton, the final destination of all products is known and reported to the City. Tule will ensure that all green waste collected is used for compost and will not be sent as ADC. (AB 1594 will discontinue the recycling credits of green waste as ADC.) Our current method of tracking tonnage will comply with all of the requirements of AB 939.

Complaint Procedures
Tule prides itself on providing excellent customer service, prompt attention to customers request and or questions and has found that the level of satisfaction grows with every call. All customers' requests or complaints will be completed or rectified either the day of the request or on the very next business day. Tule will provide on all promotion material and each container our phone numbers giving customers easy and quick access to our offices. All complaints will be logged in customers account. The Tule designee in our office becomes a focal point for resolving the issue.

This person will be responsible for notifying our driver of the problem and following all the corrective procedures until the customer issue is resolved.

American Refuse, Inc./ Tule Trash Co.

INTRODUCTION
American Refuse acquired Tule Trash Co. (TTC) January of 2018 and are now in our second year of transition. TTC continually adds and adopts new policies and infrastructure to better service the City of Corcoran and increase the diversion of materials from landfill. This report is designed to describe all activities related to education and outreach in order to meet the current requirements of AB 341 and AB 1826. Prior to April 1, 2022 this plan will be updated to meet the necessary requirements of SB 1383.

Notable Upgrades to Program in 2019: Not all our program upgrades are visible to a consumer, a city, or the state but are necessary aides that will be an asset to the future of our overall performance for the city. In the first year of transition we integrated the TTC customers into our WAM software. However, with everchanging laws and policies we found it necessary to upgrade our operating systems again in mid-2019. American Refuse and Tule Trash Co made a switch to Encore Waste handling software to prepare for the new mandates brought forth with SB 1383.

Program highlights are listed below:
- New Software:
• Tablets with ability to take pictures and send messages to customers for overfilled bins/contamination (customers are emailed or sent the picture.

Customers are also fined by the city). (SB 1383)
• Cart tagging with tablet will automatically update the driver's route for non- compliance.
• Images can be sent to customers of violations. (SB 1383) • Images and notes are stored in customer accounts (included in blocked cans, contamination, etc.). (SB 1383)
- Updated brochures for commercial and residential recycling. Proper items in each of the carts. Also, addressing contamination and overfilling of receptacles. - Signage to MFD enclosures for blue cart items (per Cal Recycle request 2019 visit) where given permission from owners.
- Swapping out of old bins and carts to new compliant SB 1383 color schemes. (SB 1383) • 2 rollouts of new carts - 3 cart system to residential customers. Included were new stickers with proper acceptable items- bilingual and graphics. These rollouts will continue throughout the city. (SB1383)
- Installation of 3d eye camera systems for route trucks to aid in review and record images of contamination. (SB1383)
- Recycling & composting themed educational signage displayed on route trucks (2020) (SB1383/AB1826 Organics)
- Continuation of information on our website for customers. - Customer service level reviews. (monthly reports run).

Addition of proper labeling to bins (trash, recycling, organics). - Outreach Materials (brochures, kid program information, articles, recycle bags, food waste pails- SB 1383)
- Direct Contact (bag distribution, face to face visits, large event, public speaking engagements)
Community events with "recycling/re-use" themed promotion for spectators Direct mailers to customers

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
AB 341 "Mandatory Commercial Recycling" - Assembly Bill 341 went into effect July 1, 2012
Tule Trash Co. will continue to monitor customer levels of participation in compliance with these laws. Within the past year, TTC has made progress in bringing the city into further diversion compliance. With the knowledge of running reports on service levels, we were able to send our recycling coordinator in for face to face visits with any violators.

As of May 2020, we are happy to report that no generators are out of compliance on AB 341.

AB 1826 "Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling" - Assembly Bill 1826 went into effect April 1,2016
With regards to AB 1826, TTC sent a letter out in October of 2018 to customers whom would be affected by the change in AB 1826 / January of 2019. An increase in customer recycling levels were a result of direct contact, informational print material, and many other efforts put forth by TTC.

As of May 2020, we are happy to report that no generators are out of compliance on AB 1826 (4 cubic yard threshold).
*We are aware of the likelihood of 1826 dropping to 2 cubic yards based on the findings for the landfill characterization studies put forth by Cal Recycle. Upon the drop in yardage, we will begin outreach to customers. We hope to work with Cal Recycle, the city, and customers on the changes that will affect some businesses already suffering from the financial burdens of COVID. We hope Cal Recycle understands some of the challenges COVID has burdened our small towns with financially.

SB 1383 "Organics Reduction for Methane Mitigation" - Senate Bill 1383 went into effect September 2016. January 2020 mandates begin. Regulations in final draft, goes into effect 2022.

As we look towards the future and the finalization of SB 1383, TTC will be incorporating more education on SB 1383 to generators. Education on food waste and green waste capture will be present in outreach materials to educate customers on the importance of reducing organic disposal for the reduction of Greenhouse Gases (GHG). In addition, TTC has already implemented a campaign called "Keep it Clean," that focuses on minimizing contamination. There have been articles in the paper as well as visual print material. Including an update on "Contamination" to the brochure kept in city office for distribution and given to new customers by city staff. TTC has a fully compliant route audit program where lid flippers are sent to check for contamination.

Upon finding contaminated carts, pictures are taken and cart tags/violations with educational material are left for the customers. TTC began this process in 2019 and has ramped up efforts even more in 2020. Drivers place cart tags on bins that have contamination as well. Repeat offenders face penalties and mandatory service level increases as detailed in our contract. As needed, TTC will continue to make adjustments to our business operations where we are preparing compliance efforts in regards to SB 1383

OUTREACH
The table below provides a summary of the outreach activities that have taken place in 2018/2019, and that are planned/ in progress through the end of fiscal year 2019/2020.

DOOR TO DOOR / FACE VISITS
2018/2019 Completed
• Every MFD in the City of Corcoran received a door to door visit. Each unit was given a recycling bag for their unit which also included an instructional letter on the bag and the variety of education on it. A "how to use" guide.
• Movement of bins for ease of use to customers was also done at some MFDs per permission of owners/managers.
2019/2020 In Progress
• Audits have and will continue as needed for maximum diversion. Audits were conducted when there were contamination issues.
• MFD site visits = 30 site visits; There are 15 total x2 visits per Recycling Coordinator; visited a total of 30 times (2x each multifamily). • Commercial accounts = 15-20 site visits to obtain self-certs and conduct trash/organics/recycle audits.
• FUTURE OUTREACH - We are working to keep relations with MFD owners and managers. We are working on a plan to give "move in packets" for any new tenants to managers and owners that will be accepting of this. As we see the finalization of SB1383, we would like to include educational information regarding section 18984.10 to owners/ managers of some of their new responsibilities. In an ideal situation, we would like to have them share responsibilities of letting us know when tenants move in and out for our reporting to Cal Recycle with the outreach we provide.

SB 1383 BIN / CART COLORING & PROPER LABELING
2018/2019 Completed
Each container has graphic, bilingual labels.
• "No Trash" or "Recycle Only" were also added to the bins. English and Spanish

STAFF REPORT

ITEM # 6-C
FROM: Greg Gatzka, City Manager
SUBJECT: Corcoran Food Waste & Recovery Study
Summary:

In February 2024, the City was awarded an SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant from CalRecycle to further the City's efforts in meeting new organic waste requirements. The City's grant proposed to have a food waste and recovery study done to evaluate the Corcoran community's capacity and needs. The study is now complete and being presented to Council for acceptance.

Recommendation:

Consider accepting the City of Corcoran Food Waste & Recovery Study.

Budget impact:

None with this action.

Background:

Adopted in 2016, Senate Bill 1383 established new State regulations targeting organic waste reduction to landfills. These new laws now require the City to address edible food recovery as a means of reducing organic waste. The City's waste hauler Tule Trash has been instrumental in assisting the City Manager in advancing efforts to address this requirement. As a general law city, Corcoran does not operate a food recovery program and previously was never mandated to provide this type of service. As food service, distribution, and food banks are typically managed by non- profits, the City applied for an SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant in November of 2023 to study and evaluate building that capacity. In February of 2024, the City was awarded a grant and the City moved forward with contracting with Kings Community Action Organization (KCAO) to develop a food waste and recovery study for the City. KCAO, as the only recognized food bank in Kings County with established local partnerships, is best situated to assist the City of Corcoran in evaluating local food waste opportunities, capacities, and recovery options.

KCAO has completed the City of Corcoran Food Waste & Recovery Study, and the City Manager is very pleased with the thorough, detailed, and quality work performed in the completion of this study. This study is now being presented for the City Council's acceptance.

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Executive Summary
In response to California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), the City of Corcoran commissioned this Food Waste & Recovery Study to evaluate the city's current infrastructure, practices, and readiness to comply with the state's organic waste reduction mandates. SB 1383 requires local jurisdictions to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% and recover at least 20% of currently disposed edible food by 2025 to combat climate change by reducing short-lived climate pollutants, particularly methane.

This study reviews Corcoran's existing organic waste collection, food waste generation, and recovery systems. It also identifies barriers to compliance, such as limited infrastructure, a need for food generator education, and gaps in edible food recovery partnerships.

Through stakeholder interviews the following key findings emerged:
• A food recovery programs is currently not active within the City of Corcoran and the commercial food generators lack formal donation partnerships, • Local awareness and participation in food recovery remains low, • Infrastructure of a system that tracks and monitors the edible food recovered in the city has not yet been established.

To address these challenges and ensure City compliance, the study outlines an action plan that includes:
• Expanding partnerships with food recovery organizations and food generators Providing resources to local food generators to ensure capacity to recovery food and adequately track food being recovered.

By following the recommendations outlined in this study, the City of Corcoran can not only meet its regulatory obligations under SB 1383 but also advance environmental sustainability, reduce landfill dependency, and support food-insecure residents through enhanced food recovery.

Food Waste & Recovery Study
Introduction
Background & Context
In September 2016, California passed Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) to combat climate change by reducing emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, particularly menthane generated from organic waste in landfills. SB 1383 is the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in California in the last 30 years. As part of this landmark legislation, jurisdictions across the state are mandated to reduce organic landfill waste by 75% and the law also requires 20% of currently disposed edible food be recovered for human consumption by 2025, using 2014 as the baseline year.

This has significant policy and legal implications for state and local governments especially for many small and mid-sized jurisdictions, like the City of Corcoran. The city is legally required to implement a robust set of organic waste diversion and edible food recovery programs. This includes providing universal organic waste collection, enforcing local ordinances, educating residents and businesses, and partnering with food recovery organizations. With a diverse population and a mix of urban and agricultural industry, and limited waste recovery infrastructure, it is essential for the city to assess its current state and prepare a clear path forward. This Food Waste & Recovery Study is a proactive step to evaluate existing practices, identify gaps, and develop an action plan that meets the goals of SB 1383 while aligning with local capacity and community needs.

Overview of SB 1383 Requirements
To reduce short-lived climate pollutants, specifically methane, the State of California is focusing on targeting organic waste-the largest waste stream in California landfills.

The law mandates:
• Organic Waste Reduction: A 75% reduction in disposal of organic waste from 2014 levels by the year 2025
• Edible Food Recovery: A goal to recovery and redistribute 20% of edible food that would otherwise be sent to landfills by 2025
To meet these targets, SB 1383 requires jurisdictions, including the City of Corcoran, to implement and enforce the following comprehensive set of actions:

1. Universal Organic Waste Collection: Provide mandatory organic waste curbside collection services to all residents and businesses.

2. Edible Food Recovery Program: Identify and ensure all Tier 1 and Tier 2 commercial edible food generators participate in an edible food recovery program.

Food Waste & Recovery Study 2
Introduction

3. Outreach and Education: Conduct outreach to residents, businesses, and schools on organic waste sorting and food recovery in addition to providing education to all food generators.

4. Procurement Requirements: Procure organic waste products to support the market for recycled materials including: compost, mulch, recycled content paper and paper products, renewable gas used for transportation fuel, electricity, or heating applications.

5. Securing Capacity: Plan and secure access to recycling and edible food recovery capacity

6. Monitoring and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of organic waste collection, edible food recovery efforts, education/outreach activities, and enforcement actions

7. Enforcement: Establish ordinances and penalties for non-compliance by food generators, haulers, and other regulated entities.

Goals of the Study
The City of Corcoran commissioned this Food Waste & Recovery to take a structured approach to SB 1383 compliance.

The key goals of this study are to:
• Assess Current Systems: Evaluate Corcoran's existing infrastructure, programs, policies, and partnerships related to food waste and organic waste management. • Identify Gaps: Pinpoint areas where the City is not yet meeting SB 1383 requirements and where improvements or new strategies are needed. • Support Compliance: Provide clear, actionable recommendations that guide the City toward full compliance with SB 1383 in an efficient and practical manner. • Enhance Community Impact: Leverage food recovery efforts to support local food- insecure populations, reduce landfill dependency, and contribute to climate goals. • Inform Future Planning: Create a foundation for investment in waste reduction, public education, and local partnerships.

Scope & Methodology
This study focuses on the reviewing the full range of SB 1383 requirements that apply to the City of Corcoran including:
• Residential and commercial organic waste collection programs. • Identification and participation of Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food generators.

Food Waste & Recovery Study 3
Introduction
• Evaluation of current food recovery partners and service capacity • Policy, ordinance, and enforcement readiness
• Community education and outreach
• Data collection, reporting, and tracking systems
The geographic scope is limited to the incorporated boundaries of the City of Corcoran, though some food recovery and waste processing partnerships may involve out of city partners.

The methodology to understand the local food waste landscape included:
• Document and Policy Review: Desk review and analysis of SB 1383 legislation, CalRecycle guidance, local ordinances, and city contracts with waste haulers • Stakeholder Interviews: Engagement with local grocery store and schools to understand current practices and barriers.
• Gap Analysis: Identification of missing or underperforming services, infrastructure including necessary equipment for facilitation of transportation and/or tracking, and policies required for compliance
• Recommendations and Action Plan Development: Based on findings, the study provides guidance and prioritizes actions for implementation, outreach, and enforcement.

About the City of Corcoran
The City of Corcoran, incorporated in 1914, is a small rural community located in Kings County in California's Central Valley. Predominantly agricultural community with one of the largest irrigated farming operations in the world, J.G. Boswell Company. According to the City website, Corcoran has a population of approximately 23,154 with a majority of the population 69.3%, identifying as Hispanic or Latino.

According to the American Community Survey 2016-2020 report, the median household income for the Corcoran was $42,997 and a majority of the workforce holds "blue-collar" jobs such as farming, construction, extraction, manufacturing, production, transportation, and material moving. In 2021, the City of Corcoran's poverty rate was 25.5% with approximately 10.3% of the population being categorized as extremely low-income.

Corcoran is a geographically compact but resource-limited jurisdiction with limited waste management infrastructure and with a higher poverty rate as compared to the total County and State, creates a strong need for local food recovery initiatives.

REGULATORY

ANALYSIS
Regulatory Analysis
Statutory Framework
California's statutory law governing environmental and resource management is known as the California Public Resource Code (PRC); specifically, PRC includes statutes that govern:
• Solid waste,
• Recycling,
• Environmental protection,
• Climate goals, &
• California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Authority.

The California Health and Safety Code (HSC) is a comprehensive body of law that governs public health systems across the state. It includes provisions that:
• Regulate environmental health and air quality,
• Address disease prevention, maternal and child health, and healthcare access, • Support the state's climate goals by targeting pollutants that affect both health and the environment, &
• Provides California Air Resource Board (CARB) Authority On February 19, 2016, California Senate Bill 1383, titled "Short-lived climate pollutants:
methane emissions: dairy and livestock: organic waste: landfills" was introduced by Senator Ricardo Lara. Senate Bill 1383 was a partisan measure, introduced and supported exclusively by Democratic legislators, with six (6) coauthors/sponsors. The State of California recognized that short-lived climate pollutants have a significant and harmful effect on air quality, public health, and climate change. In, response, the legislature enacted SB 1383 which created new statutory provisions within the HSC & PRC.

SB 1383 amended and expanded PRC to establish California's organic waste and food recovery mandate. Specifically, Chapter 13.1- Short-Lived Climate Pollutants, to Part 3, of Division 30 (Waste Management) of the PRC was added. This chapter added the following newly added sections:

1. §42652 - Legislative findings and declarations about organic waste and California's statewide recycling and climate goals identified in.

2. §42652.5 - Requires CalRecycle to coordinate and consult with CARB to adopt regulations to achieve the waste reduction goals, sets targets, enforcement provisions and penalties for non-compliance.

3. §42652.6 - Provides temporary exemption for biosolids until January 1, 2025 assuming certain conditions are met

4. §42652.8 - Grants a waiver from certain organic waste regulations if a jurisdiction applies and provides documentation.

5. §42653 - Establishes the requirement for CalRecycle to analyze its progress towards the organic waste reduction goals

6. §42654 - Clarifies that Chapter 13.1 Short-Lived Climate Pollutants addition to waste management does not limit a local jurisdictions ability to adopt more stringent requirements than those set by the state.

7. §42655 - Directs CalRecycle and CARB to assist local jurisdictions to comply with the regulations set forth in addition to clarifying that the local governments are still responsible for compliance.

8. §42656 - Requires CalRecycle to develop a Program Environmental Impact Report by 2027 in order to allow for small and medium compostable material handling facilities to have a streamlined permitting process.

SB 1383 also added new sections to the HSC identified below:

1. §39 730.5 - Requires the state to implement a strategy to reduce:
a. Methane by 40%
b. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 40%
c. Anthropogenic black carbon by 50% - all compared to 2013 levels by 2030.

2. § 39730.6 - Sets the methane reduction goal via the organic waste disposal approach through the following metrics:
a. A 50% reduction in disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020. b. A 75% reduction in disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2025.

3. § 39730.7 - Requires CARB to adopt regulations to reduce methane from manure in livestock and dairy operations

4. § 39730.8 - Requires the California Energy Commission in consultation with CARB and the Public Utilities Commission to develop recommendations for renewable gas As a result of the abovementioned sections of HSC and PRC written into law, CalRecycle, in coordination with CARB, the State Water Resources Control Board (CWRCB), & the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) developed a set of regulations known as the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants regulations.

Regulatory Analysis
Codification of SB 1383
California's official compilation of regulations is known as the California Code of Regulations (CCR) which includes regulation from various state agencies to provide instruction on everything from environmental protection to public health, education, and business.

The SB 1383 regulations are codified in the California Code of Regulations, specifically within Title 14 - Natural Resources, Division 7 - Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, Chapter 12 - Short-Lived Climate Pollutants. Chapter 12 establishes the requirements to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, especially methane from organic waste in 17 articles of which each article outlines specific responsibilities for jurisdictions, businesses, and waste management entities:

1. Article 1 - Definitions and key terms like "organic waste, ""edible food generator," "Food Recovery Organization/Service," etc.

2. Article 2 - Landfill disposal restrictions for organic waste to reduce methane emissions.

3. Article 3 - Requirements for jurisdictions to provide organic waste collection services, including bin systems.

4. Article 4 - Public education and outreach mandates to promote proper sorting and waste reduction.

5. Article 5 - Responsibilities for generators of organic waste, including businesses and residents.

6. Article 6 - Standards for biosolids management at publicly owned treatment works

7. Article 7 - Licensing and operational requirements for waste haulers.

8. Article 8 - Integration of CALGreen and Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) standards.

9. Article 9 - Allowance for locally adopted standards that align with or exceed state regulations.

10. Article 10 - Requirements for edible food recovery by large food generators and recovery organizations.

11. Article 11 - Planning mandates for jurisdictions to ensure adequate recycling and recovery capacity.

12. Article 12 - Procurement requirements for jurisdictions to purchase recovered organic products like compost and mulch.

Food Waste & Recovery Study 8
Regulatory Analysis

13. Article 13 - Annual reporting obligations to CalRecycle on compliance and program implementation.

14. Article 14 - Local enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance with SLCP regulations.

15. Article 15 - Oversight responsibilities of CalRecycle, including audits and corrective actions.

16. Article 16 - Administrative civil penalties for non-compliance with SLCP mandates.

17. Article 17 - Standards for performance-based source-separated organic waste collection services.

To support effective implementation and compliance, each article in Chapter 12 addresses a distinct aspect of organic waste management under SB 1383, the subsequent sections will present a comprehensive breakdown of these articles. While Article 1 provides essential definitions and terminology used throughout the regulations; this section will begin with Article 2, which introduces the first set of enforceable requirements and will culminate with Article 17.

Article 2 - Landfill Disposal, Recovery, and Reductions in Landfill Disposal Article 2 defines what are acceptable means of achieving the reduction of organic waste in landfills, this includes the following:
- Recycling or composing organic waste at a permitted facility - Processing the organic waste through anaerobic digestion or biomass conversion - Organic waste is recovered for edible food donation
- The organic waste is repurposed for animal feed under lawful agricultural practices - Land-applied in compliance with state regulations, or - Used in other approved methods that reduce short-lived climate pollutants.* Local jurisdictions must be aware that organic waste that is used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) - material used to cover waste control odors, fires, litter, and scavenging - or Alternative Intermediate Cover (AIC) - Similar to ADC but used for longer than one day but less than the final closure of a landfill - is considered landfill disposal and therefor does not count towards the organic waste diversion goals.

Section 18983.2 of Article 2 provides guidance for innovation with regards to using another "approved method to reduce SLP. If a facility or technology is used that is not explicitly listed in the acceptable means abovementioned, it may still qualify as a diversion method if it meets the specific greenhouse gas reduction benchmarks.

Food Waste & Recovery Study 9
Regulatory Analysis
To be approved as a valid diversion method, the proposed alternate method or process must:

1. Reduce greenhouse emissions equal or greater than composting (benchmark: 0.30 MTCOze/short ton of organic waste

2. Be supported by scientific data and lifecycle analysis

3. Submit a formal application to CalRecycle, including:
a. Description of the technology or process.
b. Types and quantities of organic waste processed.
c. End uses of resulting materials.
d. Emissions calculations and assumptions.
e. Peer-reviewed or scientifically validated emission factors.

Article 3 - Organic Waste Collection Services
This article provides options for waste collections services, container contamination, recordkeeping, and color/labeling requirements are also described. Lastly, generator and business responsibilities in addition to waivers/exemptions and emergency/special circumstances are also addressed in this article.

Color and Labeling Requirements
To comply with SB 1383, containers must be color coded - green for organic waste, blue for recyclables, and grey for landfill waste - and either the lid or body must match the designated color. Additionally, all new containers or lids provided by the City after January 1, 2022, must include clear labels showing what materials are accepted and prohibited, using graphics or text in order to reduce contamination. Full compliance with the color/labeling requirements is required by January 1, 2036, or when containers are replaced
With the established color and labeling requirements, Article 3 provides three options for waste collection services: three-container collection system, two-container collection system, and single-container collection system.

Three-Container Collection System

1. The three-bin system includes: a green container for organic waste (food scraps, yard trimmings, etc...), the blue container non-organic recyclables including paper products, wood, and textiles, and lastly, a grey container will be used for non-organic waste only.

Food Waste & Recovery Study 10
Regulatory Analysis

2. Jurisdictions have the option to provide a single container that is segregated into three separate sections with the requirement that the container has separate lids and as long as the lids meet the color requirements and material limitations.

3. Carpets & non-compositable paper cannot be collected in green container and hazardous wood waste must not be collected in any of the bins.

4. Jurisdictions have flexibility to require additional segregation of waste by providing additional containers or adding additional sections to a split container.

5. If a grey container is only used for non-organic waste then the contents of the container is not required to be transported to a facility that processes and recovers organic waste
a. The grey container may be able to collect organic waste if the contents of the container are transported to a facility that is able to process and recover organic waste

6. If organic waste is placed in plastic bags and deposited into green container, the organic waste processing facility must confirm in writing each year that it can remove and process the plastic bags

7. Uncontainerized green waste is not a prohibited but residents must still have access to a green container.

Two-Container Collection Services

1. The two-container collection service has two options: option 1 will require a green and grey container and option 2 will feature a blue and grey container.

2. Under option 1 the green container is limited to organic waste only and it may only be transported to a facility that recovers source separated organic waste. a. The grey container allows for comingling of all collected waste including organic waste that is not designated for collection in the green container as long as the grey container is transported to a facility that has the ability to process and recover organic waste.
b. Certain compostable plastic may be placed in green container if:
i. The material meets the standard for compostability
ii. The contents of the green container are transported to a facility with the ability to process and recover the material
Food Waste & Recovery Study 11
Regulatory Analysis

3. Option 2 allows for the blue container to collect non-organic recyclables only but allows for certain types of organic waste including: paper products, printing and writing paper, wood and dry lumber, and textiles.
a. The contents of the grey container allows for comingling of all collected waste as long as the contents are transported to a facility that can process and recover organic waste

4. An alternate option is the option to use a single container that is split or divided into segregated sections with the lid of each section match the color requirement.

Unsegregated Single-Container Collection Services.

5. The City can also opt to use a single grey container for all waste type (including organic waste) but only if the contents of the grey container are sent to a high- diversion facility that can separate and recover organic materials effectively a. If the facility fails to meet the required recovery reate for organic waste for two consecutive quarterly reporting periods or three quarterly reporting periods within 3 years, the facility will not qualify as a high diversion facility b. If the facility doesn't meet standards, the City may be subject to state enforcement, including a corrective action plan or penalties Reporting Requirement
Once the chosen collection service has been identified, the City must maintained record about how it provides organic waste collection services by reporting it on the Implementation Record and updating it in accordance with the recordkeeping requirements.

Container Contamination & Compliance
The City is also responsible for monitoring and reducing contamination in waste to ensure proper sorting of organic waste and compliance with SB 1383. Currently there exist two methods by which the City can ensure compliance with monitoring contamination:

1. Annual Route Reviews: spot checking containers along collection routes a. If a prohibited contaminant is found the jurisdiction must follow the specific notification actions to the offender
Food Waste & Recovery Study 12
Regulatory Analysis

2. Waste Evaluations: sampling and analyzing container contents at a facility at least twice per year for blue and green containers and once per quarter for the grey container during two distinct seasons of the year
a. If the sampled content contains an excess of 25% of prohibited contaminants, the jurisdiction must notify generators of the requirement to separate materials in the appropriate containers.

A detailed record of how the City monitors and addresses contamination in its waste collection system must be completed and retained for five (5) years. The documentation will include the method, specifics, intervention if contamination is identified, record of notices issues, and corrective action taken.

Organic Waste Generator & Commercial Business Owner Responsibilities Organic waste generators, including commercial business must adhere to the following:

1. Generators must subscribe to and follow the City's organic waste collection services or self-haul organic waste

2. Generators have the option to reduce or manage waste onsite, including composing

3. If a generator does not produce a specific type of waste it is not required to provide that container type.

4. Containers (purchased pre-2022) do not need to be replaced until their end of life or January 1, 2036
Including the abovementioned, the following regulations apply specifically to commercial business (with the exception to multifamily residential dwellings)

1. Commercial businesses must provide clearly labeled or color-coded containers for organic and recyclable waste in all customer accessible areas except restrooms

2. Containers must be inspected periodically for contamination and educate employees on proper use

3. Must provide or arrange for organic waste collection services for employees, contractors, tenants, and customers.

4. Ensure containers are adequate in number, size, location, and have proper labels or colors

5. Annually inform all relevant parties about:
a. Organic waste recovery requirements.
b. Proper sorting practices.

6. Provide this information to new tenants within 14 days of occupancy.

Article 11. Organic Waste Recycling Capacity Planning
Article 11 of SB 1383 provides instruction on how the County in coordination with the City, regional agencies, and special districts must identify the current waste and current or expected capacity that will be needed to process organic waste along with providing information on reporting, timelines for reporting, and means of calculating these projections.

Organic Waste Recycling Capacity Planning
The City will be required to coordinate with the County to estimate the amount of all organic waste that will be disposed so that the County can determine the need of the entire county. The County will provide an estimate of the organic waste the City will dispose by using the Recycling and Disposal Reporting System. If the City performed a characterization study within the last 5 years and it includes the same categories of organic waste as identified by the State with a statistically significant sampling of solid waste this local study may be used.

The County will then be required to identify the existing organic waste recycling capacity that is available to the cities within the county. The City will assist the County in ensuring the facilities are verifiably available through a contract agreement or other documentation to prove that the facility is available.

Using the abovementioned information, the County will then estimate the amount of new or expanded organic waste facility capacity that will be needed.

The City must respond within 120 days of receiving a request from the County to submit the abovementioned information.

Once the estimated capacity is established, the City and County must consult with CalRecycle and the facilities that recover organic waste to potentially expand capacity at these operation sites. The sites must respond within 60 days to outreach from the date of outreach from the local jurisdictions
Food Waste & Recovery Study 22
Regulatory Analysis
The County will be required to provide outreach to these facilities in coordination with the City.

If it is determined by the County that organic waste recycling capacity is insufficient in a particular City, the County will provide notice to the City with the requirement to submit an implementation schedule to demonstrate how it will ensure there is enough capacity to recover organic waste.

The implementation schedule must include the following:

1. Timeline and milestones for planning efforts to access capacity

2. Efforts to obtain funding for organic waste recycling infrastructure

3. Identification of facilities that can be used for additional capacity

4. Propose a new or expanded facility
Edible Food Recovery Capacity
The City will be required to coordinate with the County to estimate the amount of edible food that will be disposed by commercial edible food generators within the city.

The City will be responsible to determine the existing capacity of the food recovery organizations in the community that is available to commercial edible food generators. The City must identify new or expanded food recovery organizations/services that will be used to recover edible food and determine if there is a new or expanded capacity needed to recover edible food. The city must then consult with the food recovery organization to discuss the potential for a new or expanded capacity if needed and they are required to respond within 60 day.

If it is determined that the edible food recovery needs of a city is insufficient, the City will be required to submit an implementation plan to demonstrate how it will ensure to meet the capacity needs of edible food recovery.

The County in coordination with the City must conduct the above-mentioned planning requirements in accordance with the following schedule:

1. By August 1, 2024: Report for 2025-2034

2. By August 1, 2029: Report for 2030-2039

Article 12. Procurement of Recovered Organic Waste Products This article covers the requirement for the City to procure a specific quantity of recovered organic waste product that meets or exceeds its current annual recovered organic waste product procurement targets.

Every 5 years, CalRecycle shall determine the organic waste product procurement target by multiplying 0.08 tons of organic waste per resident by the city's population size as reported by the California Department of Finance. The City shall receive written notice of this procurement target.

In order for the City to meet this goal, the City must do one of the following:

1. Procure recovered organic waste product for use or giveaway

2. Require a direct service provider of the City to procure organic waste products Items that qualify as recovered organic waste products include:
- Compost produced at a facility permitted by SB 1383
- Renewable gas
- Electricality from biomass conversion
- Mulch that meets the appliable conditions required by SB 1383 If the annual recovered organic waste product procurement target exceeds the amount or procurement actually used, then the target goal shall be reduced to the amount used to ensure the City is not penalized for not meeting unrealistic procurement targets.

The City is also responsible to provide documentation supporting compliance with the procurement requirement including:

1. Description of how the City will comply with the requirements

2. The contact information from who the organic waste products were procured and how they were used

3. Invoices or records

4. Procurement documents of a direct service provider subcontracted by the City that is required to procure recovered organic waste.

5. If a POTW was used to procure renewable gas, the POWT must be compliant with SB 1383 requirements

6. If a biomass conversion facility was used to procure electricity, evidence of compliance with SB 1383 requirements

7. If the organic waste target was reduced, the City must provide record of the recovered organic waste used for the reporting period.

2. Toilet paper: ≥ 45%

3. Paper towels: ≥ 40%

4. Facial tissue: ≥ 10%

5. Toilet seat covers: ≥ 20%

6. General-purpose paper wipers: ≥ 40%

7. Food serviceware (e.g., napkins, trays): ≥ 40%
Additionally, the products that are procured must be recyclable and eligible for an "unqualified recyclable" label which means that at least 60% of consumers or communities where the product is sold has access to a recycling facility for that item. The businesses that the City purchases paper products from must include certification of the minimum or exact percentage of postconsumer material used in products sold to the City. The requirement can be waived if it can be verified by a product label, catalog, invoice, or a manufacturer or vendor internet website. Businesses must also ensure that the product sold is eligible to be labeled with an unqualified recyclable label. All the abovementioned information must be documented to ensure the City is compliant. Copies of invoices, receipts, or other proof of purchases and copies of certifications must also be included.

Article 13. Reporting

• Ensure documentation includes generator details, recovery capacity, and capacity-building actions.
• Train generators on recordkeeping requirements and proper measurement techniques
• Collaborate with County on edible food recovery capacity planning Recap
The City of Corcoran has demonstrated substantial progress in meeting most of the compliance requirements. A critical gap remains particularly in edible food recovery programs and associated recordkeeping. Addressing these deficiencies is essential to avoid enforcement actions, ensure active participation in achieving California's organic waste reduction and edible food recovery goals. 46 Food Waste & Recovery Study

IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation
Implementation Framework
The following action plan outlines the steps necessary for the City of Corcoran to achieve full compliance with SB 1383 edible food recovery requirements. It builds upon the recommendations provided in the previous section and translates them into actionable measures that address identified gaps in the edible food recovery category of SB 1383. To ensure all aspects are taken into account, the action plan will focus on three areas:
• Building a functional food recovery program
• Improving recordkeeping and reporting
• Monitoring compliance
The steps that will be presented are practical, time-bound, and tied to responsible parties and deliverables so the City can move the areas of non-compliance from recommendations to implementation.

Food Recovery Program
The City will establish an edible food recovery program that includes food safe storage, staffing, transportation, distribution capacity for recovered food, and coordination with commercial generators. The program is recommended to be led through a designated local food recovery organization or partner such as the Kings Community Action Organization (KCAO) to manage operations.

If the Food Recovery program is designated to a food recovery organization, a written formal agreement will define roles, responsibilities, reporting, and food safety expectations.

Regardless of whether the City of Corcoran opts to self-administer the Food Recovery Program or designate to a food recovery organization, the program's Scope of Work or operating manual must include:
• Citywide access to food recovery services for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 generators Monitoring of commercial edible food generators compliance with food recovery requirements
• Education to commercial edible food generators
• Ensuring sufficient capacity to meet citywide edible food recovery needs. • Coordination with the County of Kings to provide evidence of sufficient citywide capacity of food recovery needs.

The Food Recovery program for the City of Corcoran must have capacity to collect edible food for food recovery and have the capacity to accept edible food from commercial edible food generators that chose to self-haul the food to the food recovery organization/service.

The total estimated poundage of food recovered is 2,000 Ibs.

The Food Recovery Program must have the capacity to meet the estimated poundage of food recovered per month.

The Food Recovery Program must increase edible food recovery capacity if the Kings County Department of Public Health in coordination with the City of Corcoran determines that the estimated amount of edible food exceeds the capacity of the existing food recovery organizations. Additionally, The Food Recovery Program must ensure it can increase access to food recovery services as needed.

Recordkeeping & Reporting
Once the food recovery program has been implemented, the next critical step is ongoing recordkeeping and reporting. This phase ensures compliance with SB 1383 and provides transparency and accountability for the program's success. The following activities must be maintained by the food recovery program:

Food Waste & Recovery Study 51
Implementation
Activity/Requirement Frequency
Ensure the City food recovery website includes all food recovery organizations that meet the criteria below:

1. A food bank that operates as a nonprofit charitable
organization that
collects, stores, and distributes food as defined in the Health and Safety Code

2. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization who's primary Annually purpose is charitable activities such as feeding people in need and complies with food safety standards

3. A nonprofit charitable temporary food facility that is approved by the local enforcement agency to prepare and serve food at a community event for a limited time as defined in the Health and Safety Code.

Provide information about the edible food recovery program Annually Inform commercial edible food generators about food recovery Annually requirements
Provide information about the food recovery organizations Annually Provide information about prevention of food waste Annually Monitoring schedule for compliance audits to ensure all identified Tier Annually (or more 1 and Tier 2 generators adhere to the food recovery requirements in frequently for non- addition to all food recovery organizations compliant generators) Maintain a list of food recovery organizations and services along with Ongoing their edible food recovery capacity.

Maintain documentation of actions to increase edible food recovery Ongoing capacity
Training resources will need to be developed or updated to provide to commercial generators to clarify recovery requirements and promote best practices.

Monitoring Compliance
Once recordkeeping and reporting systems are in place, the final step to a complete Food Recovery Program is establishing a framework for monitoring compliance. Monitoring ensures that documented practices are accurately reflected in day-to-day operations and that all generators meet SB 1383 requirements. The Food Recovery program will develop a monitoring schedule that aligns with the needs of the City and the monitoring activities will be documented and integrated into the City's Implementation Record to demonstrate oversight and corrective actions when necessary.

Food Waste & Recovery Study 52
Implementation
The Food Recovery Program must ensure the following
• All Tier One and Tier Two commercial edible food generators in the City has a contract or written agreement with a qualified food recovery organization • The existing contract or written agreement with a Food recovery organization or service contains language that the Food recovery Organization has the capacity to:

1. Collect their edible food, or

2. Accept the food the commercial edible food generator self-hauls to the organization • Commercial edible food generators maintain an updated copy of the written agreement or contract
• Ensure that commercial edible food generators have a list of the food recovery services they are contracted with that includes:

1. Name address and contact info of all the organization the provide edible recovered food

2. The type of food that will be collected

3. The frequency the food will be collected

4. The quantity of food collected, measured in pounds recovered per month • Verify that all food recovery organizations have contract or written agreement to collect or receive edible food from Commercial edible food generators with the following information included:

1. Name, address, and contact info for each Commercial edible food generators that provides recovered food

2. The quantity in pounds of edible food collected from each Commercial edible food generators per month
Action Plan Implementation

CONCLUSION
Conclusion
Conclusion
The City of Corcoran faces a clear opportunity to fully align its waste management practices with the requirements of SB 1383. This study has outlined the statutory framework, assessed current compliance, and identified targeted actions to close remaining gaps— primarily in edible food recovery and associated recordkeeping & reporting requirements.

With strategic planning, phased implementation, and strong partnerships, the City of Corcoran can achieve full compliance while advancing the statewide goals of achieving environmental sustainability and addressing food insecurity in the community.

Successful implementation will depend on continued coordination between the City, Tule Trash, and local food recovery partners. The Kings Community Action Organization (KCAO) has played an important role in shaping this plan and hopes to be a critical partner in building capacity for food recovery operations. Their expertise in food distribution and community engagement and recognition positions them as a key resource for meeting food recovery goals and ensuring recovered food reaches those in need.

Moving forward, the City should prioritize execution of the Action Plan, working with commercial edible food generators, and food recovery organizations to ensure, recordkeeping requirements are upheld through a collaborative monitoring systems. By doing so, Corcoran will not only meet its regulatory obligations but also contribute to statewide efforts to reduce organic waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve food security for vulnerable populations.
